But any conservative who is BORN into the 1%, like Trump, is A-OK. No corruption. No quid pro quo. The billionaire is NOT bought and paid for by the 1%. So that billionaire will be working for us, the middle class, the blue collar worker. WTF are these people smoking?? The billionaire IS the 1%! He doesn't need donations from the 1%. He has his OWN 1% money to campaign with! I seriously would like to know how these clowns actually survive year after year without getting killed by modern societal living. Being uneducated is one thing. These idiots are simply stupid.

That they actually think that is beyond stupid, especially since he NEVER said it. Seriously, has he? I know he said we need the rich in order to be great. Has he even mentioned the middle class (never mind the poor, screw them!) at all?
